You really CAN HAZ flash on your iDevice!

Developer Lida Tang from Boston has found a solution for flash on Apple devices. It's quite ingenious actually considering Steve Jobs' disdain for flash. This app is called Cloud Browse and has been available in the App Store for several weeks now with more than 150,000 downloads. When you browse to a website within the app there is actually a third party server accessing the site and streaming the content back to your iPhone! The frame rate is a bit slow but usable.. and there's even audio. A premium beta is in the works that will speed up the frame rate but is reported will cost $9.99 monthly. The one site that does NOT work is Hulu as they actively block access. I have gone to a few sites and it works pretty well.

I think I'm officially out of this thread. I lost my iphone on the weekend, and Rogers sent me a LG Eve as a replacement. I'm going to sell it and buy the Sony Xperia X10 instead.

Thanks, but I had posted this weeks ago. Not as detailed, but the message was the same.

The iPhone was indeed made for warm climates like California.
Since Toronto's weather has been pretty hot, I've decided to take my case off and noticed the glossy clearcoat of the back housing feels very grippy and the oil build up isn't slick anymore. The rubberish coating of my case feels too sticky and don't really like it when it's this hot.
I'll be putting my case back on when the weather gets cold again. That's when the glossy clear coat and your fingers become slippery like ice.
Now I fully understand why Apple made the iPhone like this, too bad not everyone in the world lives in hot climates all the time. Plus any type of "damages" can be seen and traced back to void warrenty services.

iPhone vulnerability leaves your data wide open, even when using a PIN
if you feel like going through the process of typing in your PIN every time you unlock your iPhone is worth it thanks to the unconquerable security it implies, you might want to read this report from Bernd Marienfeldt about the chosen one's security model. Yes, a PIN will keep casual users from picking up your phone and making a call with it, or firing off an e-mail to your co-workers saying that you're quitting and becoming an exotic dancer, but it won't keep someone from accessing all your data. Bernd and fellow security guru Jim Herbeck have discovered that plugging even a fully up-to-date, non-jailbroken iPhone 3GS into a computer running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx allows nearly full read access to the phone's storage -- even when it's locked. The belief is that they're just a buffer overflow away from full write access as well, which would surely open the door to making calls. Bernd believes the iPhone's lack of data encryption for content as a real problem, and also cites the inability to digital sign e-mails as reasons why the iPhone is still not ready for prime time in the enterprise.

AT&T: 40% of iPhones are sold to enterprise
Security concerns be damned, the iPhone is selling like hotcakes when it come to business users, said AT&T business solutions CEO Ron Spears. While attending a Barclay’s Capital Communications event today, Spears was asked how businesses are taking to the iPhone some three years after its launch. The answer, according to Spears, is very, very well. By his estimates, a whopping 40% of iPhones sold by AT&T go straight into the hands of corporate folk. All of this despite the fact that the iPhone OS is nowhere near as secure as corporate staple BlackBerry. But to this Spears pointed out that most CIOs are okay with having iPhones in their midst and that, for some companies, they’re even huge money savers being able to replace laptops. Here’s what Spears said in his own words:
“When the iPhone came out, what most people heard in the first year from ‘07 to ‘08 was ‘oh my God, it’s not BlackBerry secure.’ This is not going to work on the enterprise space. At the end of the day, it’s just software. That’s all it is. And by the time the 3G came out in ‘08 they had solved about 80% of the security issues. By the time the 3GS came out last summer, most CIOs will tell you today they have very few issues around the security that they need provided as they have come to know that RIM can do it because of the way RIM provides their solution. So enterprises today view the iPhone as a mobile computer. It happens to have a voice application on it. But what’s important is what you can do with it, and the way you can mobilize workforces, and specific parts of your workforce, not the entire workforce. [...] If they’ve got a field service force that needs one or two applications on a daily basis; do they need to go out and spend $1,000 or $1,200 for a laptop and then worry about sort of the lifecycle costs of keeping up with the laptop?”
Let fire your comments, readers.

I felt in my backyard pool yesterday, with pockets full of money, papers ... and iPhone!!!!
My first reflex was to fire up the BBQ at minimum on one side, and put the phone on the other side... see if I can dry some water.
iPhone works!! I was lucky!!

Solved the iPhone + windshield + charging overheating issues. (Even when traveling towards the sun's direction)
Mounting the iPhone w/ the windshield mount and charging in the summer always leads to overheating & discharge. I figured out having the AC blasting and have the fans blast towards the windshield would help.
What I've discovered today, the overheating is from the cases. The plastic, rubber and etc draws heat and doesn't seem to release and cool down the unit at all. It makes it super hot and traps the heat.
No wonder my caseless Treo only had this problem once on a super hot day. I though it was a design flaw all this time w/ the iPhone.
